Your Christmas gift list doesn’t have to have a huge carbon footprint. In fact, with the right choices, you can save money and reduce your impact on the environment while giving gifts that your friends and family will love. Here are some plastic-free options for you to choose from.
Bamboo Cooking Utensils
Plastic is out, and sustainable, natural products are in! Plastics don’t biodegrade and end up in our food chain as tiny pieces of microplastic. Plastic is so ubiquitous that it is estimated that we consume 70,000 pieces of plastic every year.
Bamboo cooking utensils are non-toxic, biodegradable and won’t scratch your favorite pans.
Bake It, Can It, Cook It
Let’s face it, most of us already have everything we need. One of my favorite gifts to give is the gift of food. Taking time to preserve, bake or cook food that your family can share is a wonderful gift. You can make their favorite recipes or get a cake delivered in Bangalore or at any place where you wish it to be.
Eco-friendly Clothing
Fabric that is made from nylon or polyester is not biodegradable. Worse still is that it is estimated that each wash releases 1,900 pieces of micro-plastic into the water systems which end up in the ocean. Giving clothing made from natural fibers like bamboo, organic cotton and wool will keep your loved ones warm and cozy this winter.
Upcycle It!
Giver your old junk a new lease on life! Save old items from the landfill while creating unique items that your family will love. This is the best way to celebrate a green Christmas. If you want ideas on how to upcycle, you can see the post here.
